Why Architecture Exists
All levels — SA, EA, TS3-4 hoursArchitecture purpose framework — complexity · alignment · risk · change · shared understanding

Why architecture exists — managing complexity, aligning technology with business, reducing risk, enabling change, and creating shared understanding across teams.

...shortcuts, watch people leave, lose knowledge — and slowly, quietly, the system drifts from any coherent design until no one fully understands how it works. Architecture exists to make complexity manageable...
